The first film about Paddington, the Peruvian bear-loving anthropomorphic lover of jam and prone to accidents that never takes off his hat, which was created by British writer Michael Bond six decades ago, hit theaters around the world recently. more than three years. As if Paddington were the opposite of the irreverent plush Ted, the filmmaker Paul King conceived in 2014 a cloying universe of kindness and tenderness where the irresistible awkwardness of the bear adopted by the Brown family made him screw up again and again.

That prodigious mix of actors and a huge CGI was a fable that celebrated the cultural diversity that produced migration in London. The world changed too much from that idyllic 2014 and, Brexit and election of Donald Trump through, King had to take charge of this new context and recalculate the destiny of the immigrant bear in London in this sequel. Paddington 2 immediately finds the protagonist stigmatized and imprisoned for a crime he did not commit.

From the confinement of the bear in prison appears the main problem of the film: King is torn between different narrative lines between the vagaries of Paddington in prison, the struggle of his family to prove their innocence and the search for a lost treasure that has a striking connection with the unjust imprisonment of the Peruvian bear.
